I just realized, thanks to Molly's question, that Abraham
has a new relationship to God after the binding of Isaac.
***
Abraham tells his unnamed servant what Lord Yahway will do! "He himself will send a messenger before you" [24:7].
Yahway will help this servant find a bride for Isaac because Abraham says so!
So can we children of Abraham, with faith, say what our God will do? Is this don't ask -- tell?
How comforting that we can with confidence say: God will bless us, comfort us, heal us, and send messengers to guide us to more and more loving relationships.
